I'am not quite sure if I understood well. I put in my .xsession these
lines:
xbrlapi&
export WINDOWSPATH=8

xbindkeys
gnome-session


but the result is the same. the gnopernicus start automaticly after
xbrlapi. First I see some message from xbrlapi "unknown" and then
gnopernicus speech only ont show something on display. If I start the
Emacs then Emacs show on braille display correctly and only it. If I
wont switch to other windows (gnopernicus), the gnopernicus speech but
not show and on display is still the information fromEmacs.
